Tombstone Tuesday: The Riccardi Grave

I've posted a picture of this grave before. It's the grave of my Mother-in-law's father, uncle and brother. The picture above is the original that I took a couple of years ago, when I visited with my Mom-in-law. She told me that her brother, Rex Patrick's birth year was incorrect and they had been meaning to have it corrected. Well, earlier this year, we lost a wonderful woman, Rose Edith Riccardi, AKA Nana. Nana was buried with the other Riccardis in this same grave. This was a great opportunuty to have the year for Uncle Rick corrected. The engravers added Nana and changed 1939 to 1935. They did a great job, too. Thanks to my brother-in-law, Glen, for sharing this picture with me.

About Me

I am a family history junkie! I am finally working on organizing all of the data and pictures that I have gathered over the years. I started on this when I was in high school. I would sit with my mom and look at old pictures and she would tell me who everyone was. I started building a tree shortly after that. I would say that was about 1993ish. I became more serious in 2009 after my mother passed away. It made me realize how important it is to get the details from our family members before it's too late. I also think it's been quite therapeutic!
